SEALED WITH THAT HOLY SPIRIT OF PROMISE

In whom ye also trusted, after that

ye heard the word of truth, the gospel

of your salvation: in whom also after

that ye believed, ye were sealed with

that holy Spirit of promise, Which is

the earnest of our inheritance until

the redemption of the purchased

possession, unto the praise of his

glory.  Wherefore I also, after I

heard of your faith in the Lord

Jesus, and love unto all the saints,

Cease not to give thanks for you,

making mention of you in my

prayers;  That the God of our Lord

Jesus Christ, the Father of glory,

may give unto you the spirit of

wisdom and revelation in the

knowledge of him: The eyes

of your understanding being

enlightened; that ye may know

what is the hope of his calling,

and what the riches of the glory

of his inheritance in the saints,
And what is the exceeding

greatness of his power to

us-ward who believe, according

to the working of his mighty power,
Which he wrought in Christ, when

he raised him from the dead, and

set him at his own right hand in

the heavenly places,  Far above

all principality, and power, and

might, and dominion, and every

name that is named, not only in

this world, but also in that which

is to come:  And hath put all things

under his feet, and gave him to be

the head over all things to the church,
Which is his body, the fulness of him

that filleth all in all.

Ephesians 1:13-23
